Awkwafina and Kate McKinnon Dance Battle for Their Lives on SNL

A real genius can dance to un-dance-able music.

Awkwafina took the stage of Studio 8H this weekend, becoming the first Asian-American woman in 18 years to host SNL. And after a surprisingly touching monologue with a shoutout to Lucy Liu, she squared off against Kate McKinnon in a super weird dance battle.

As Baby Tooth and Tiny Biggs, McKinnon and Awkwafina lead rival dance crews. But while McKinnon and her dancers start off pretty predictably (and, well, actually choreographed), Awkwafina, Kenan Thompson and Leslie Jones follow up by dancing to The Price Is Right theme music. What follows is even more game show music ("Cause we're winners"), manic freestyling by Awkwafina, surprisingly good actual dancing from Chris Redd, and an appearance by musical guest Travis Scott. It delivers something that SNL hasn't really been known for in recent years. The show's gotten its biggest laughs lately from political satire, actors breaking, and high-end absurdity, but the dance battle sketch brings a lot of physical comedy. And the "Final Jeopardy" theme has never been so bad-ass.
